How to improvise on guitar if you're an absolute idiot

[@RudyAyoub]

Improv? What about interpolation?

"By the way there's not gonna be tabs for any of this, if you wanna learn you can learn like an adult." Every once in a while Rudy just drops some absolute gold on us.

[@jeff9393]

we adults learn by pausing the video and imitating finger by finger note by note what he does

[@huyle2057]

and instead of note by note, remember their degree in that scale he played

Thanks rudy this unironically helped me I am now a guitar 🙏

[@nicobot7225]

Yes my guitar plays me now

[@MechanicalRabbits]

Rudy feels like that funny and talented friend who you enjoy watching as they grow more confident in their content and dare to try new things. I had a lot of fun watching this! even learned some cool approaches to improvisation that maybe I didn't think about that much before

[@andreyzhuchkov1882]

such an unwarranted insult, man, he deserved more

[@Skaxarrat]

Dude, if you really like Rudy, insult him. That's what we do here.

[@sinanrobillard2819]

I usually make errors when improvising. I really like the fact that you didn't cut the parts where you made mistakes, it actually takes some guts! it feels nice to see that I am not alone! Thanks!

[@TheKlaun9]

Embrace the errors. I think one of the worst attitudes towards an instrument is being scared of making mistakes. You have to push yourself well beyond what you can do in order to improve. Sure, during a life gig, you perhaps should play what's comfortable, but during practice or during jamming, if you never make mistakes - you never learn anything. Seen people freeze up on the instrument as soon as they're not satisfied with their result. Huge mistake, they never get anywhere. And then on stage, you're hot, your hands are sweaty, you're nervous, your band mates mess up, you can't hear yourself, your equipment isn't working properly - you'll make mistakes, better know how to deal with them. Any guitarist who hides them is a fool. You can watch John Mayer's live streams - he makes more mistakes than I do tbh and streams them to the largest fanbase any guitarist in the world enjoys.

[@eliasmesones]

There were no errors. It was jazz.

[@nebula_M42]

Find the chord changes in the upper 3 strings is really a good tip, I usually disregard this step and end up doodling everywhere because I don't pay attention to underlying chords. Thanks Habibi

I laughed at this too 😂

[@hirisen]

Mate, all jokes aside, I love this video. I love your approach and I love how you explained it in a simple way. I've kinda been teaching myself to improvise lately and it's been going... well yeah. So I really appreciate these nuggets of wisdom (even if you don't think it to be so) as a novice.

This is actually a really good lesson, 15:51 best advice

[@bobsegar1242]

I am an advanced player, been playing most my life.. I like your approach I have similar approaches. for the nubes chiming in, this fella Rudy is a good fella for making this video.. he didn't have to give any of us his insight. appreciate it passer=bys. good work man, I enjoy your content. found you surfing the web when my brother died back in may. had me laughing every since.

[@dreckigerthorsten260]

its funny, how this is extremely meme heavy, yet much better than like 90 percent of other tutorials on this topic

For future reference, the right 'made-up' percentage is '83'. Always use '83'. '83' is legendary.

[@Greenjagsurf]

83 sounds legit, but seventeen percent disagree

[@Greenjagsurf]

This is good in the idea that to improvise you may have worked out a basic lick or variation, and have a general goal of creating tension or release. That is not just random and good, there is a looseness and creativity, but also intent

[@sunnymittal1906]

Absolutely love your delivery! There are a lot of great teachers on YT but few as entertaining as you. Thank you and happy new year!

[@timsalvador2592]

Can we just appreciate that at 4:44, Rudy probably didn't plan to have his cat come up on the desk, and yet he added an extra joke to the video for us Now that's true effort

[@Gilbert4899]

didnt have to call me out like that

One can see Rudy almost breaking into laughter before he cuts off the video! That’s even more hilarious

[@brozephh1124]

the way you deliver the lesson in your humorous way is fantastic !! Had to pause from laughing too much. Instant sub. The best part is when you don't treat me like a dumbass lmaoo. there are far too many 'video lessons' that cater to the player that just picked up the thing 20 minutes ago. Keep up the great work Rudy 👍👍
